Nice!
I too am not too much into Nia for those reasons, though I like her when with Simon. XD

The hair might have been a lot of work, but dang, you did a fabulous job on it! I love the gradient you did, especialy where it gets a little, pink-purple then blue.
This image is goregous!

I really thought the same about Nia.. I found her a bit TOO perfect.. ._.

Nia's one of my favourite characters from TTGL (never really saw her as 'flawless' but someone who was trying to find out who she was and found her strength in Simon >w<
Artwise, I liked how you introduced some pink tones in her already colourful curly hair, great Nia artwork!

I adore Nia's design, but yeah...her actual character/personality is lacking a bit. But she sure is fun to draw.

Ah, the coloring is so beautiful. You've done a beautiful job rendering such a soft, pretty face. :>

Wow, like wow, this looks really nice. I love how the light softens the whole picture alongside the shadows, this is really a great job <3

Aaah, wow, this is lovely! Her face and hair in particular really stand out. Beautiful colouring!

Todella soma ja nΓ€tti Nia. Varsinkin tytΓΆn hiukset ovat mielenkiintoinen sekoitus realistista ja piirrosmaisempaa jΓ€lkeΓ€, jota valaistus tukee hyvin.

Nia is not more flawless than Kamina, really. Besides, the only reason she becames perfect is the fact that she met with Simon. Hell, Simon himself became as "flawless" as her after their encounter. Nia learned from Simon to believe in herself, the only reason she never submerged into a dark personality of depression and cynicism is her encounter with Simon. Thanks to the little Kamina statues and Simon's own strength, she decided to forge a life different from her "the thing" her father conceived her as.

Sounds kinda familiar, did you by chance paste that from somewhere?
Nevertheless I think Nia would've been tons more interesting if she'd had even one personality flaw or inner conflict to deal with. There was so much potential for that, knowing what a dark background she came from.

Okay, I think I have to apologize for this one. I am sorry if I caused any problem, I actually didn't write that one, I mean I wasn't the one to post this one.
I am guessing this is a copy paste from a livejournal community called: Fandom!Secrets.
I don't know who entered my account but I am really sorry if I caused any problem.
By the way, I am just happy I was able to find such a good artist here on Deviantart. 
Once again, sorry for the trouble.

The inner conflict was still there, it wasnβt overplayed because that wasnβt the point of the character, it would go against the nature of her relationship with Simon and it wasnβt really the focus of the show. She had to deal with being abandoned by Genome, with being revealed to be only a βdollβ TWICE in the show and she never go quite over any of them. Like the previous poster said, it was only Simonβs existence what made her appear βflawlessββ¦ just like Simon himself became equally βflawlessβ and righteous after meeting with her; so long as you consider relying on others to find your own strength not a real flaw, anyway.

Her hair may have been a challenge, but it was worth it. The lighting looks beautiful -- I love all the creamy colors you worked into it.

And ooh the colours are delicious! *__*

Hahaha. I felt the same way about Nia.. She was so cute, but at the same time so boring with her flawlessness.
I am loving the way this looks. You did such a good job of capturing her essence, even though you used a more realistic style. This coloring is gorgeous. I love it.

Voi todella ihana

Wow this is really pretty~
I love the shading and her hair and her face and... everything ;w;
I decided that I like Nia only because she's cute and I'm a sucker for cute >w<;;

I love how you color! I always wondered, what kind of brush do you use to get that kind of effect?
π: 0 β©: 1
Thanks! Just the regular round pencil with pen pressure adjusting the opacity.

So spending some money on a pressure sensing pen and tablet would be smart?

You can't really do CG without those.

Argh! Those eyes again.
Great colouring all the way. I like her expression as well.

Coolio! Love the crazy hippie flower eyes of bright but well used colors. Your use of shading is gorgeaous too. Excellent work(as always).
